The present volume aims at outlining a new field of research with
regard to the history of diplomacy: the material culture of
diplomatic interaction in early modern and modern times. The
material culture of diplomacy includes all practices in foreign
policy communication in which single artifacts, samples of
artifacts, or else the whole material setting of diplomatic
interaction is supposed to be constitutive for creating an intended
effect in terms of diplomatic objectives. The chapters of this
volume focus on intercultural diplomacy in different regions of the
world wherein diplomatic actors of various kinds might have been
confronted by a whole universe of unfamiliar artifacts and
artifact-related practices. Most of them concentrate on gift giving
as a diplomatic practice that offers multiple insights in the
complex dynamics of diplomatic relations between representatives of
culturally highly diverse political entities. In doing so, they
gainfully apply different theoretical approaches of material
culture as an interdisciplinary field of study to the investigation
of diplomatic cultures across the globe. As a result, it becomes
obvious that future research into the history of diplomacy should
take into account material practices much more thoroughly than has
been done before.
